Our Story
Nature and wildlife conservation committee is a team of like minded youth who decided to work for the conservation of nature and wildlife.
In 2004 our committee was formed for planting trees wherever there is necessity and opportunity, for protecting endangered species, protesting against forest looters, to join hands with forest department to conserve nature and wildlife and mainly to conduct awareness programs to interested students in schools and colleges.
First we took up the program of planting trees on road sides, in front of schools, colleges, government offices and we are continuing this program.
We also started activities to create awareness among people not to use plastic in forest areas and also convinced the officers to ban the use of plastic in the campus of Bannerghatta National Park.
Every year on 1st July, on the occasion of “World Environment Day” and between October 1st to 7th for “Wildlife Week”, we have conducted many awareness programs about wildlife among the people. Many of our programs are published in leading daily news papers which has been incorporated into our service.
When serial killing of deer took place in Koppala, we protested in Bangalore, to take action against the hunters. For the conservation of wildlife a team of 10 youths conducted a cycle expedition throughout the state. Participation of the forest department minister Mr.Gurumadappa Nagamarapalli, education minister Mr.Ramalinga Reddy during this program has given the committee a lot of publicity and co-operation. So to proceed with the committee systematically as per the rules we registered the committee in the government as “Nature And Wildlife Conservation Committee”.
To create awareness about wildlife we conducted summer camps for school students, had exhibition of wildlife photographs, showed a movie about wildlife, had forest trekking, lectures from the scholars etc. In this way, our committee is continuously organizing awareness programs to save nature and wildlife.
Our committee is involved in the Animal Census with Bannerghatta forest department and our volunteers are continuously involved in the conservation of wildlife.
To be more effective and systematic in our service to nature and wildlife our committee has organized camps to create awareness to students in schools and colleges. With the aim of involving the students in the activity of conservation of wildlife continuously, our committee has instituted “Nature Club” in all schools and colleges.
Along with this, since 2 years our committee is involved in” Night elephant protection camp” conducted by Bannerghatta forest department. More than 50 volunteer are involved in this camp. Every day 4 volunteers of our committee stayed and participated with the forest department for 3 months for the success of this camp.
Our committee has organized awareness programs about forest fires during summer in the villages on the forest borders around Bannerghatta National Park. Since 2 years our committee has organized a 3 day “street play” in villages and highlighted the adverse effects caused by forest fires.
Mr.B.K. Singh, Principal Chief Conservator of Forest and other officials participated in these programs and encouraged us.
In this manner, Nature And Wildlife Conservation Committee has worked in and around the villages near Bannerghatta National Park for the activities regarding conservation of Nature And Wildlife. Our committee will always be committed to work for forest life and for the conservation of forest if the forest department is willing to give us continued support.
